Bevel Selection won't work on a blank layer

[barbieq25]

I noticed that Belevel Selection no longer works on a blank layer. 

 

I use it to make glass outlines or to tweak the bevel effect for the items in the layers below.

 

Any ideas why this is so?

Are you referring to the Bevel Selection plugin in BoltBait's pack?

If so, you should ask that question in the plugin thread:

Maybe switch off the 'Keep original alpha' checkbox?

@barbieq25  It is working for me if you are referring to BoltBait's plugin.

 

Try this:  Instead of using it on blank layer, duplicate your original layer and un-tick 'Keep original image' box.  Hope this helps.  🙂

You need to use Selection and not Object.

 

1.  Have object on a layer.

2. Select object.

3.  Invert selection.

4. Make a new layer

5. Selection and then Bevel.

Well, guess what it is working now like it should! I have nearly always done my bevel like that as I said at the start.

 

Thank you all for your advice
